and it looks like snow, but I can smell
it and hear it, too—that kind of muffl-
ed stillness, you know—and it makes
me realize that it's most time to get
eeedy for Christmas."
“Eleanor Day," said Lois, with
something very like scorn in her voice,
,"you're as lone and lorn as I am, and
you don't mean to tell me that you
pretend to keep Christmas, all by
yourself!"
These two elderly women had been
separated for nearly twenty years
until within the past few months.
Brought up as neighbors and scheol-
girl friends, they had lived on adj,oin-
ing farms until, after the death of
her father and mother, Lois had left
the old home town and gone West to
keep house for a widowed brother.
Within the last year the brother also
had died, and now she had come back
to the old house, a solitary and lonely
woman, to pass the rest of her days.
Eleanor, too, led a lonely life:
Father, mother, sister and brother had
long ago been taken from the old home
and she had been left quite alone to
make the best of life that she could,'
with what -was left her—the old house
to live in, her hands to work with and
a cheerful heart; these were her sole
assets.
Lois Robinson had as much, and
more, in the way of earthly possessions,
but the cheerful heart, the best pos-
session of all, had long ago deserted
her. So she had spoken with wonder-
ment and something not unlike envy
in reply to Eleanor's cheery reminder
of Christmas.
"I don't pretend," Eleanor Day re-
plied, echoing her word. "I keep it.
It's Christnas just the same, and
tell you, Lois, though I never said so
to another soul, I keep it TOT all the
rest, and that makes it the happiest
kind of a time. I never feel so close
to them as when 1 ana planning
Christmas presents for Father and
Mother and Healy and John."
"Eleandr Day, what do you -mean?"
Lois looked at her almost in fright.
Was Eleanor losing her senses? She
certainly was a very composed and
comfortable looking lunatic, if she
was as she sat rocking gently in her
altaisr and clicking' her bright knitting
needld
She st;'"Orassed and looked at Lois for
a moment witiasa Jittle kindling light
in her eyes.
"Why, I mean this," she said; "the
things I would give to Mother I give
to somebody else that is old and that
hasn't any daughter to do for her.
There's old Miss Partridge still living,
you know, and Aunt Mary Woodruff—
she ain't any aunt, but Mother taught
me to call her so. Then there is al-
ways some old gentleman to make me
think of Father, there are invalids
for Hetty and kind of queer, nice odd
folks for John. And then there are
always children."
"Well, who are the children for,
I'd like to know?" Lois inquired.
Eleanor flushed a little and sat back
in her chair and resumed her knitting
and her rocking.
"Oh, I suppose I'm awfully foolish,
Lois," she said. "I didn't mean to
mention about them particularly, but
I always get sort of lonesome, about
Christmas time for the children
might have had, maybe, if sonae things
had been different; and it kind of
warms me up inside to plan things for
some children somewhere, if they ain't
the ones I wish they were."
Lois's own face softened a little, but
she only said, "Well, you do beat the
Dutch!"
"PH tell you, Lois," said Eleanor,
you Just step in next week, a day or
two before Christmas, and I'll show
you the things I've got It's little I
can do, and I'd be ashamed to show
them to you, but I kind of think you

"Everybody ain't like you, Eleanor
ay," Lois replied. "You was always

as children; it seemed as if 'twas
eally so and not playing at_ all, and
believe you're at it still!"
"Well, you know it says in the Bible

The talk drifted to other things, as

aik wcnt away, Eleanor Said to her:
"Do be sure and si.cp hi next Tues-

WC you help me do the things up."

But Eleanor had put the dolls snug-
ly back in their respettive boxes, and
was laying out half a dozen pairs of
mittens- of assorted sizes, for some
children who lived down at the cor-
ners where the mill had been built;
and there were tops and jumping -
jacks, and two or three gayly colored
picture bookg.
"They need the mittens," said Elea-
nor, "but bless you! Christmas would
not be Christmas unless there werel
seine presents that you could get
along without," and she sat back and
viewed the treasures happily.
" 'Twas kind of close skimping after

"Why, Lois Robinson, I' guess we

heart that she couldn't make those cup

LESSON SETTING—In the last few
lessons we have been following the
growth of the missionary spirit and
the extension of missionary operations
in the early Christian church. In prin-
ciple it became universal, and in op-
eration it • became everywhere ag-
gre-ssive. In our lesson to -day we turn
back to the pages of the Old Testa-
ment, where the prophet gives us a
vivid picture of the Messiah and the
manifest results of his reign.
L THE CIIARACTER OF THE MESSIAH,
• ISA. 11: 15.
Vs. 1, 2. There sha:1 co9ne forth a
rod. • When Assyria falls it falls like
a cedar of Lebanon which sends no
fresh sprout from its broken stump
but Judea is like an oak which, though
hewn to the stump sends forth new
growth. A shoot spring'from the
stock, and a fruit -bearing branch shall
grow from the root. When Christ was
born we see how low the fortunes of
God's people, had fallen, and from
what we know of the earthly circum-
stances of Joseph and Mary, we see
how humble had become the circum-
stances of the family of Jesse and
David. 'The spirit of the Lord shall
rest upon him. 11 spiritual endow-
ment of the Messiah iS to be in mark-
ed contrast -to his material circum.
stances. The pirit of wisdom' and
understanding. The fruit of the Spirit
which vested upon the Messiah is now
desctibed in a threefold way. First,
he has wisdom and understanding, or
what we might call insight, and fore-
sight. He sees through, and sees be-
neath, and sees beyond. The spirit of
counsel and might. Second, he has the
spirit of action. Fle acts with wisdom ;
and power. 1 -le has amoral decision;
and heroic energy. 7he .spirit of,
knowledge and of the 'ear of the Lord,'

His wisdom and action spring from a
now ecge of, and reverence for, the
will of God. It was a divine program
for human need that he carried out
Vs. 3-5. Shall make him of oick
understanding,. translate rather, aAnd
Ile -shall draw breath in the fear of the
Lord." Love of God is to be the Very
atmosphere of his soul. Jesus ex-
pressed the sarne truth,—"My _meat is
to do the will of him that•sent me, and
to finish his work." There are no
mixed motives in his heart. He has
one supreme motive. He shall not
judge after the sight of his eyes. The
Messiah is to see he unseen fact and
.hear the unuttered reason that are all
ihiportant in true judgment. 'With
sagh,teasusness . . the poor . . and szrtite
the earth with the rocl of his mouth ,
For the poor he shall speak justice.'
lont he ,shall smite the wicked of the
earth with words as with a aod.
